Legal Profession Act 2007

This section applies if an individual gives or produces information or a document to a special investigator under section 581D.

Evidence of the information or document, and other evidence directly or indirectly derived from the information or document, is not admissible against the individual in any proceeding to the extent it tends to incriminate the individual, or expose the individual to a penalty, in the proceeding.

However, this section does not apply to—

a proceeding about the false or misleading nature of the information or anything in the document or in which the false or misleading nature of the information or document is relevant evidence; or

a proceeding for an offence against the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002, section 8C, 8E, 8F, 9C, 13A, 61, 71(1) or (2) or 71B.
